Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 2135 - 2132: Everyone Panicked
The speaker did not finish the sentence.
But the clever ones present all realized that the matter behind this was likely not something a mere scholar like them could meddle in.
Some sharp ones quickly stood up and took their leave with a bow.
"Qi, there’s business at home I must attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."
When one did so, others followed suit, gradually leaving as well.
Chen Run did not delay either. Upon returning, he went straight home, planning not to get involved further.
In the end, only Qi Yuan was left with Zhang Lin and a few others.
Qi Yuan’s expression changed repeatedly.
Zhang Lin, on the other hand, was deathly pale; no amount of cleverness could surpass the fact that this script had been orchestrated by that person from the start.
"Young Master Qi..." Zhang Lin pleaded, looking at Qi Yuan.
He knew his own father, due to Minister Qi’s orders, openly opposed Chu Heng at the Imperial Court today, blatantly being part of the opposition.
If this matter had been intended by that person from the start, then his father would be like meat on a chopping block, undoubtedly the first to be targeted.
"Alright, what’s with that sour face? These are just our speculations and may not come true. Let’s head back; I’ll ask my father for replies." Qi Yuan waved his hand impatiently.
Swinging his sleeves, he left.
Soon, many people left the bathhouse.
But Shopkeeper Zhang, standing behind the counter, had a smile that grew more genuine.
He was genuinely happy.
These scheming people even dared to plot against his master without considering if they had the wits for it.
"Have the staff change the water and take good care of the guests." With a clear mood, Shopkeeper Zhang found business to be running more smoothly.
Meanwhile.
Ye Muyu received the news while at Jingyuan.
Amused after hearing the news, she realized that these troublemaking noble family youngsters were startled by this outcome, but the real fun was yet to come. She just wondered what kind of disturbances might arise recently in the Imperial Court.
However, these were not her concerns, and Ye Muyu didn’t meddle in such affairs.
Patiently, she immersed herself in making ceramic bricks with Li Mingde.
Recently, some walls in Jingyuan needed to be whitewashed, and she took this chance to get some lime, as it’s necessary for making cement.
Now they had clay and lime and were only short of coal.
Because Lu Chuan and Su Mei were getting married today,
Ye Muyu, after finishing her work in the afternoon and preparing to return home, bought some cakes at a bakery on her way back. As she passed by Lu Chuan’s yard, although it was getting dark, the place was still bustling.
Ye Muyu handed the cake to Liuye: "Take it inside; don’t bother them, just deliver and return home."
"Yes, my lady." Liuye quickly, with her agile skills, entered the backyard and found Su Mei’s bridal chamber, handing the cake to Su Mei, who was waiting inside.
Upon hearing the reason, Su Mei was so surprised she nearly lifted her veil, but Liuye quickly stopped her motion: "Hey, Sister Su Mei, the lady didn’t mean for me to lift your veil. If you’re hungry, just have something to eat. The lady sends her blessings for a harmonious and fulfilling marriage."
"I’ll be on my way, don’t overthink it, enjoy your wedding night, haha." Like the wind, Liuye ran off again.
With the cake in hand, its sweet aroma wafting to her nose, Su Mei’s eyes welled with emotion.
Although her early life had been quite rough, being sold off at a young age, now she felt it was all worth it. If her merciless parents hadn’t sold her, how could she have met a truly caring lady?
